If a learner knows 'MAGA' as the movement label, using it as a noun for a supporter is fairly guessable but involves a metonymic shift from movement to person.
Etymology
MAGA started as a short name from the slogan 'Make America Great Again', so a MAGA as a noun means a person who supports that slogan. Calling someone a MAGA says they back the movement and its goals.
